In-form Zambian Super League top scorer Rogers Kola has been snubbed as well.

Others summoned are Green Buffaloes winger Mike Katiba and Zanaco Ernest Mbewe after a long absence from the national team. Simba Sporting Club ace Cletus Chama joins his elder brother Adrian Chama.

@Justice Kafusha is right we need to seriously start grooming another Keeper who can take over from Kennedy. I see Toaster Nsabata is missing,not sure why?

Its also dangerous to have two Goal keepers only in the team. What happens if one gets sick match day and then the other guy playing gets injured during the game. The we done!! Ni ya bwnji? Yet we have 5 Strikers in the Team.
